1/ Six years ago, cancer left me depleted. My blog became my lifeline, giving voice to patients globally. Today, with $1.75M in grants and a seat on a top medical journal's board, I've turned pain into purpose. This photo captures my 1-year survivorship flame. #CancerSurvivor

1/ Breaking barriers has defined my life since a young age. At 16, I became the first Black woman to win a gold medal from the prestigious France National Conservatory. I later shattered gender stereotypes as the first woman researcher at Stanford Robotics Lab. #BreakingBarriers
